LLM/PgDip/PgCert International Business Law

This course provides graduates in law or any other relevant discipline with the opportunity for advanced learning in certain key areas of international business law, in academic conjunction with the advanced study of strategic management and marketing modules, which complement and contextualise the legal areas.

The course is delivered with a strongly contextual business bias and students benefit from the networking and employment prospects offered by a large and dynamic Business School.

At the final stage of study (Industry Collaboration Project) you will be able to choose whether to pursue a purely law-based focus or an interdisciplinary law and management focus.

International students should apply for the LLM route.

You will:

• Explore key areas of international business law
• Develop an understanding of international strategic management
• Apply learning through the Industry Collaboration Project

TEACHING:

In addition, you will attend the taught element of the Industry Collaboration Project each Wednesday afternoon during the six week blocks, with independent study completed in your own time through the University’s virtual learning environment, Blackboard. Individual student timetables will be provided during induction week.

Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars and tutorials, using a wide range of learning activities.

• Presentations
• Seen or unseen examinations
• Closed or open-book examinations

Our industry partners give us their input into the curriculum so that the teaching reflects industry’s current and future needs and you develop the skills that employers want. The industry Collaboration Project, which forms the final third of your study, is designed to give you real-world experience so you can apply the theory you have learned.
